Subject: eBird duration - how to adjust?
I have been trying to adjust to the change to eBird which automatically
calculates duration based on track distance. When I try to update the
duration having birded longer than expected, or less than expected, it
won't allow it while using the app but "insists" on retaining only the
duration of the recorded track distance.

I have repeatedly had to make "checklist notes" of the actual duration
while the duration entered with the checklist is wrong. My note of
the real duration is meant for me, so I can go back and change the
duration on my desktop computer since the app won't allow it. However, I
know that I will not remember to do this very often.

Does anyone here know of a workaround in the app?
